Preview by Mohammad Anab
Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A will renew their growing rivalry when they meet in a crucial Group A contest of the Asia Cup Rising Stars on Saturday at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha.
Sri Lanka A enter the match with a blend of experience and emerging talent. The batting unit has the stability to build competitive totals, while the presence of all-rounders such as Ramesh Mendis offers additional depth. Skipper and left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage is likely to play a key role, especially on a surface that tends to reward slow bowlers.
Afghanistan A, the defending champions, arrive with confidence and a near-intact squad from their previous successful campaign. Captain Darwish Rasooli leads a team rich in flair, with opener Sediqullah Atal expected to shoulder batting responsibility once again. Their bowling strength remains formidable, combining the pace of young quicks like Abdullah Ahmadzai with the control of their highly rated spinners.
The pitch in Doha has been on the flatter side, making run-scoring very easy. A close, tactical battle is expected as the Rising Stars tournament heats up.
